Introduction

JQuery is a lightweight JavaScript library and can be downloaded from http://www.jquery.com. The jQuery library is also included in the Scripts folder of the Visual Studio ASP.NET MVC template. You can increase the performance by using Google hosted AJAX Libraries. Google hosted AJAX Libraries can be found here. You can also read an excellent article about Test Drive of the Google Hosted Ajax Libraries.

Instead of showing and hiding the Loading element, you can just set the LoadingElementId Option to the id of the span/div. I dont know if this is possible in MVC 1 but it should work with MVC2 at least.
They have added support for this already.
Good work MVC Team.
